Hi All,
I flashed the new AOSPA 4.2.2 Rom on my P500.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213967
I went through all the installation instructions:
1. FORMAT SYSTEM
2. FACTORY RESET
3. INSTALL ROM, GAPPS
4. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
5. REBOOT
After which I no could no longer connect to my network.
I re-flashed my previous rom(the 4.1.2 by Rashed) and still I am receiving no signal.
Baseband version says unknown version.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
1) Were you having old baseband (v10) ?
2) Did you trim the ROM before flashing ?

I used to have the new baseband as I was running 4.1.2.
I used this trick to get the phone working with 4.1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110929
I simply put the rom on my Sd Card, booted with clockwork recovery, performed those resets and erased the caches. Then I just installed the 4.2.2 by selecting the install via zip.
Did you flash the baseband fix with this ROM ?
You also need to trim the ROM before flashing gaaps by using Oone ROM editor (search for it on the forum)

Yes after I flashed the ASOP ROM I tried flashing the BB fix.
After I went back to 4.1.2 I flashed the BB fix and still nothing happened.
I'll try trimming the rom.

Ok, so I deleted all the cahes and performed a system reset on the phone, I then reinstalled the CM10 Rom by Rashed and then I installed the BBfix, and now it's working just fine.
Thanks for your time.
^ No problem

also no carrier!
I also have the same problem, I have followed the instructions carefully, even formatted system with debug_format_system.zip, also used oldBBfix_signed.zip and still have no carrier. What would I trim from the rom with the tool you suggested? Thanks for any help!
***UPDATE****
I trimmed the rom per Oonerom help instructions, formatted my SD card, still no joy...I'd like to use this rom if I could get carrier to work!
This ROM works perfectly fine with me.I am on new baseband.

Myself and several others are using the P509 as well. The following is my method for installing ROMs::
1) Trim ROM and copy to SDCard
2) Boot device in to recovery
3) Factory reset
4) Advanced->Wipe Dalvik cache
5) Install ROM zip
6) Install old baseband patch zip ( See LG Optimus One FAQ post #9 for zip )
7) Reboot device in to new ROM
8) Optional - Install Link2SD, Mounts2SD, etc...
9) Reboot in to recovery
10) Install GApps zip
11) Boot device in to new ROM again and enjoy
Thanks!
Thanks, I'll try that method tonight!

So this is what I would recommend you do. Perform a factory reset, flash all your caches. ect. Then flash the ROM, you can trim it but mine worked fine without any trimming. If you need the extra space then trim otherwise it doesn't matter.
After the rom has been flashed reboot the phone and boot into the Operating system. After you go through any initial set up, reboot the phone and then flash the Old BB fix. reboot again into the OS. After that go ahead and flash the Google apps.

I followed your advice, but still no carrier, ugh!
I even formatted the sd card to make sure there isn't something on there keeping it from working. Haven't given up, but running out of things to try, thanks again for trying to help, I do appreciate everyone's tips.

Are you with Simple Mobile? If so, the APNs aren't setup correctly. I have to manually enter my APN information after flashing a ROM. There is an APN for Simple Mobile named 'simple', however for data connections one need to be created name 'Simple DATA'. The APN information is freely available on Simple Mobiles web site or I can upload the information here.

I believe that IS the problem, all of the information in "about phone>status" is blank. I ended up flashing Rashed97's CM10 in order to have a working phone, and I have no problems. It may be that I am running too old a recovery. Back when I first rooted this phone the only recovery was Delisdre's and I'm still using it. If i knew a newer recovery that was known to work well with this phone I'd upgrade, and try that.

Settings->About Phone being blank tells me that you have the wrong radio libraries not an incorrectly setup APN. As in either old baseband with new baseband libraries or new baseband with old baseband libraries. What version of Android was on the device before it was rooted? Android 2.2 is old baseband, Android 2.3 is new baseband. It's possible that the baseband had been upgraded which is causing the confusion.

But fred's on p509 which means he's on old baseband only, same as you. I think a proper trim( maybe the libraries have not been written properly due to lack of /system space), a clean reflash & the old bb patch should work.
@ fred - do not flash gaaps. Try only the rom & the old bb patch. See if you get network after checking for proper apn. I use AmonRa recovery - works with all roms
Thanks guys, I'll try once more with a trimmed ROM and no gapps, will report back!

Hi guys,
Anyone could guide me to where can I find the source to download the full stock rom for the I9023, xxxKB3, GRI54 so that I can flash this into my phone and overwrite my current CM7 before manually flashing to 2.3.4's stock rom and then reroot it again. Will really appreciate it.
Stan.
There is a full 2.3.4 rom available for your phone.
the "released" link under I9023 has a full rom file in this thread.
Issue is I'm currently rooted and on CM7's rom which means I can't just apply the 2.3.4 full rom over it, it won't work this way. Thus I need to flash my phone back to the stock 2.3.3 rom but I can't seem to find one for my phone

hmm.. i think a full rom is a stock rom.. it will prolly wipe everything, but bring you to stock 2.3.4.
i only read about needing a stock rom when _updating_ with an update file, which is way smaller..
i poested that in the sticky for the otas.. maybe wait, if someone else confirmes that =)
edit: i don't think rooted is a problem, i was rooted myself. it just was gone when i applied the full rom.
so I should try getting the full rom for my 9023, gri54 and just apply update from sdcard at recovery?
After apply CM7'S rom, I noticed my build changed to gri40, will it affect? The available rom for the 9023 is meant for gri54 only

well, i think it doesn't matter what you have right now, since it's a full rom, not an update. so cm7 well be gone after install and you have a pure android rom.
so either if you are on gri40 or gri54 it doenst matter, cause you will be grj22 afterwards, as long you have an i9023.
before this full rom came up, some ppl downgraded to gri40, in order to use the update grj22-from-gri40. an update requires the correct version installed, but not when using a full rom.
and yeah, just use recovery and install from sd-card. root will be gone and you be having stock recovery again.
hope that helps..
This definitely helped alot.! So I just format /data and /cache and I'm good to go ahead and flash?

i don't think u even need to do that.. flashing that rom should wipe everything..
at least i think so.. anyway, since u are going from cm7 to stock rom, ur system is gonna be new..
let me know if it worked!
don't forget, if wann root again afterwards, u need to flash a custom recovery again!

my only worry is that after reading about in the forums. After flashing the full 2.3.4's rom onto my phone and thereafter flashing CWM into it again, it won't stay permanently. Any ideas how to go about solving this?
Locking and unlocking the bootloader again should reset the phone to stock rom and factory defaults, wouldn't it?

didn't realise that cwm recovery will be gone afterwards, since i still was able to flash superuser file with cwm. just saw i'm back to stock recovery ;b
found the same as u did in the guide sticky thread to work around that
so did flash the full rom already?

If you are running CM7 at the moment, stock ROM won't magically appear just because you did lock/unlock.
It will sure wipe data/SD clean, but stock ROM can't just pop up out of no where

Just format your /system partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, then install 2.3.4 full ROM. To make CWM stick, you have 2 options
1) Without rebooting after you flashed 2.3.4, stay in CWM, use adb
Code:
adb remount
adb root
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh{,.bak}
or you can delete it if you want...I did
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
2) Root -> reboot -> install ROM Manager -> install CWM -> delete/move /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
I manually updated my dad's phone to ics with the ota file. He has the tmobile version and it's not rooted or anything. So i booted into recovery and installed the ota file. It installed just fine but now he has no service at all. We placed the sim card in another phone and it works just fine so its the phone itself. When we go into the network operators menu it gives us this "error while searching for network"

Try the stock OTA. It usually comes with an associated radio.img for your phone model.

actually i had same problem yesterday.followed the stock rom advice and it worked properly.
as long as i have rom manager.4.8.3 i did a rom backup before installing ics update.
i lost the service in ics and then tried to restore the rom 2.3.6, same "error while searching for network".
all i did now is flashing again cwm 5.0.2. i downloaded nexus s stock rom 2.3.3 from rom manager too.
i flashed the rom and everything went back to normal.
thanks for the advice.

after a few days to stay with this JB on my flex. i found big problem with WIFI connectivity:
1 - connect and used about 10 to 30mn,, it is still connected but no internet.
2 - reconnect -> authentication problem.
3 - reboot a fews time to make wifi back to work.
4 - back to problem number 1
5 - Camera App still randomly cant be used unless restart. ( same problem since ICS )
6 - some intensive graphic games cause reboot the phone, eg Clash of Clans ( new in this JB)
What is good about JB is feel smooth and faster.
Any help, please?
Thanks @attn1! Works great.

Try flashing my firmware package again, then flashing the ROM again. If you still have these issues, then wipe data/factory reset from clockworkmod. This is working for everyone else reporting, including me.

highly unlikely to impossible in this version of reality.
Look at mac address of both phone. They are the same. And both phone connected to the same ip of a router.
Even i use 2 routers, and connect one each, they seems to drop connection very often.
Unless a phone turn wifi off to let other one stay in good connection.
Do you have another alternative firmware file? So it could have different mac address ?

Looks like you restored the same /data backup to each phone. MAC address is determined by your wifi hardware, not this firmware.

I did not restore anything. While both phones on ics they both worked fine without duplicated mac address issue. Then i followed the instruction of the 2 files for upgrade to jelly bean. I didnt do any back up or restore. Just flash the firmware zip then jb rom zip the. Everything of my data are still there wifi are working fine untill i flash another phone to jelly bean too, both phone must have one wifi to turn off to make another one's wifi works fine.
Do you have the flex and upgraded to jelly bean by this two files? Could you tell me your mac address of your wifi ?

Apologies. I've verified the problem, have traced it to mmcblk0p10, and here's a fix for you that changes the MAC by one:
Flash this from CWM:
md5: 4e7940c1b5d3690e0e38b083f224a7f1 OSCAR-WIFI-MACFIX.zip
NOTES:
This problem is because the hardware MAC is stored in that partition and read by the wifi firmware. It should never present a problem for people unless they have more than one Flex running this update on the same local area network subnet.
The MAC address starts in mmcblk0p10 at hex offset 30204, and an image file of this partition can be edited CAREFULLY with a hex editor and copied back to that partition. Doing this wrong may result in a bricked device.

In recovery (cwm), check the md5 of the file on the sdcard against the posted md5 like so:
adb shell md5sum /path/filename
If it's not matching, you will get that error.
If you don't have the shipping ICS aboot, you may be stuck. You can't flash or boot images if you've taken the jb update. You still haven't detailed what you started with and what you have tried to do and where it went wrong, so it's hard to tell you exactly what to do or even if there is anything to do.
Any idea about stock rom? I don't have cwm. Only need to restore using original farmware. P8010 already stuck.

No stock firmware from Pantech? I thought the firmware in the first post is STOCK? No? What about a caught copy from the OTA from AT&T?
Hello everyone. I have been away from the Android scene for awhile, and I am looking to make some changes to my VZW SGIII. I want to make sure that my current plan for upgrading makes sense and I was hoping someone here could help. Here are my current settings:
ROOTED, BOOTLOADER Unlocked, CWM installed
Android 4.2.2
Kernal: 3.4.53 Cyanogenmod
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Liquid Smooth v2.9
I would like to update my Modem, since my current option has absolutely terrible reception. According to what I have read, it seems that the best Modem option is MF1 firmware than do a ML1 Baseband update.
[Q1] Does this have to be performed with ODIN, or can I do this through CWM?
The other thing I would like to do is to update to KitKat. I have found a ROM I think I will like, C-RoM v6.5. The instructions from their thread:

Install the ROM from internal sdcard
Select Rom Zip And Flash, then select GAPPS of choice (doesnt have to be from below, im using PA GAPPS myself...) And Flash
Reboot And Enjoy..."
[Q2] What is the best order of operations in order to ultimately end up with MF1 w/ ML1 modem and C-RoM 6.5?
Should I do all the modem updates first and then flash ROM? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have been away from the Android scene for awhile, and I am looking to make some changes to my VZW SGIII. I want to make sure that my current plan for upgrading makes sense and I was hoping someone here could help. Here are my current settings:
ROOTED, BOOTLOADER Unlocked, CWM installed
Android 4.2.2
Kernal: 3.4.53 Cyanogenmod
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Liquid Smooth v2.9
I would like to update my Modem, since my current option has absolutely terrible reception. According to what I have read, it seems that the best Modem option is MF1 firmware than do a ML1 Baseband update.
[Q1] Does this have to be performed with ODIN, or can I do this through CWM?
The other thing I would like to do is to update to KitKat. I have found a ROM I think I will like, C-RoM v6.5. The instructions from their thread:
"WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + Format System)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard
Select Rom Zip And Flash, then select GAPPS of choice (doesnt have to be from below, im using PA GAPPS myself...) And Flash

In addition, I would also like to update my Kernal. Any suggestions as to where in this process I should update the Kernal (I would think at the end)? Also trying to decide between leankernal and KT747, anyone care to offer their experiences as far as stability, etc.?
You seem to have the right idea. All this can be install in recovery. Odin is not needed
You must update your recovery to the latest version. This is NOT Optional!
1. Wipe System & Data
1b. Flash MF1 firmware
1c. Flash ML1 modem
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash kernel (if you using something like KT747)
4. FLASH Gaaps
5. any addons
6. Reboot (if unstable reboot a 2nd time)

Thank you. Which recovery should I update to first?

It's up to you. You only use one recovery. If you like TWRP then just go grab the latest version and stick to it.

EDIT: Found a zip file of CWM. Sorry! Thanks again!
Quick note, some people have been having problems with the ML/MF combo in that more then one text message can't be sent at a time. If you get one, you can send one, but only one. Some people have gone back back to MB1 modem/firmware for SMS support.
Just a heads up..

I dont understand, what is the problem exactly?
When I found out that Towel Root can finally root my 4.4.2 LG G2 (D801) from T-Mobile I was very excited to try it, so I went ahead and installed it. It worked of course, very well. so I continued to install Autorec, which restarted into TWRK Recovery. Great!
I wipe Dalvik & Cache and flash the Stable Cyanogen 10.2 rom from 2013, and now it's stuck on boot. Also tried with the latest nightly to same outcome.
What am I missing here?

CM builds use JB kernel and baseband. You'll need to find the right JB baseband for your phone and flash it and then the CM build you want to use.

What's a baseband? and what do I "do" with it once I find it?

Baseband is your modem. Install the zip in recovery before installing your rom. Install baseband/modem, full wipe, install rom.

I suggest you read up on this stuff a little to get more familiar.

The only problem is, I can't do a full wipe because I have to keep the ZIP files of Cyanogen Mod and Gapps on the device. There is no way to load them on the device when in TWRP.
Also, that post is very confusing. It has a list of roms, and then a download link to a completely different list. How do I know which download correlates with:
D801BK (T-Mobile USA)
D80110C
M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034
by QUALCOMM, Incorporated Aug 10 2013
Is it LGD801_10C_RADIO.zip ??

OK I tried again, flashed LGD801_10C_RADIO.zip before the Cyanogen zip, then Gapps and Supersu, restarted and it's doing the same thing. Cyanogen screen loading animation but never booting up.
Like I said before, I CANNOT do a full wipe in TWRP because that will delete all the ZIP files on the device. This device does not have an SD card I can load them on and the USB connection doesn't work (driver not found, this is apparently a known bug).

With TWRP can't in the wipe section you do an advanced wipe and just not select internal storage, thus leaving the ROM on your phone while still doing a full wipe?
TheBestEver said:
Full wipe means the "factory reset" option in TWRP. You're on kitkat bootloader. You need to somehow find a flsshable .zip of the jb bootloader. Modem doesn't matter. I've used JB and KK modem and both work. Maybe you're on stock KK kernel and need to flash the JB kernel? If you're on KK stock and want to jump to CM you should find a flashable .zip of both kernels or .IMG times and try that as well if option 1 doesn't work. Sorry

Where can I find that Kernel?

Both of which still run 4.2 sources. Before u flash either , what must occur first is flash the 4.2 jb modem then Rom etc.

You might be able to help me, I root with TowelRoot (checked with Root Checker) and then installed/run AutoRec for T-Mobile d801. And it boot loop into download mode, (i have a package to fix that, but still have no Recovery)

You can find the KK modem in the SOKP thread in Development and that may help.
